CONFIRMED: After Mouni Roy's exit, Tamannaah Bhatia finalised to play the female lead in Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer Bole Chudiyan

Nawazuddin Siddiqui's brother Shamas Siddiqui is gearing up for his directorial debut with Bole Chudiyan, starring the renowned actor in the lead role. The film recently grabbed a lot of attention lately when Mouni Roy, who was finalised as the female lead, made a controversial exit due to creative differences with the makers. Ever since then, the audience was waiting with bated breaths to know who would be roped in to fill in Mouni's shoes. And to our excitement, we now hear that Tamannaah Bhatia has been finalised to play the female lead opposite Nawazuddin in Bole Chudiyan.

Confirming the same, the Baahubali actress told a leading daily, "I’m looking forward to this project. The script is good, and this is the first time I will be attempting such a multi-layered character in a mainstream Bollywood film. What really caught my attention was the story, which revolves around a relevant issue." Nawaz, too, shared his excitement on collaborating with Tamannaah and said, “I’m happy that Tamannaah has joined our film. I feel that she is the right choice for this role.” On the other hand, director Shamas added, “Tamannaah has that spark, along with the dedication that I was looking for in my heroine.”
